[Saga77]

 

Street Symphonies Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the signing of Hard Rock 'n' Roll band, Speed Stroke, for the release of their new official studio album “Scene Of The Crime”.

 

Founded in Italy in 2010, Speed Stroke were introduced to the international rock scene in 2011 thanks to their involvement in "Reborn In Sleaze", an official tribute album released in memory of Dave Lepard (Crashdïet). In March 2013 the band launched its S/T debut album via Buil2kill Records, warmly welcomed by critics and fans.

 

Thanks to the deal signed with Bagana Rock Agency, Speed Stroke had the chance to promote their work all around Italy and abroad, playing more than 200 live shows in the first 3 years, sharing the stage with artists such as Shameless/Tuff, Labyrinth, Sister, Tigertailz, Kissin' Dynamite, 69 Eyes, Confess, Living Dead Lights, Hardcore Superstar and Steel Panther.

 

Their second work "Fury", released via Bagana Records in 2016, allowed the band to expand in the European scene; the song "Believe In Me" had also been chosen by Spotify to be featured in its major hard&heavy playlists like New Metal Tracks collecting, Arets Rock & Rock Idag (Spotify Sweden), Discover Weekly and many others, collecting more than 600'000 total plays worldwide.

 

The Italian leg of the "Fury Tour" brought Speed Stroke on stage with some awesome acts like Reckless Love, Santa Cruz, The Cruel Intentions, Backyard Babies, Hardcore Superstar, Gotthard, Phil Campbell, Crazy Lixx and 69 Eyes, plus many other explosive shows in clubs and festivals in Germany and Sweden. 

 

The band was also invited four times to celebrate the anniversary of famous venue Paunchy Cats in Lichtenfels (Germany) with Hardcore Superstar in 2016, Babylon Bombs' reunion show in 2017, Crashdïet 's reunion tour in 2018 and Tyla's Dogs D'Amour in 2019. On September 1st 2018 they debuted in the UK at HRH Sleaze 2, at the O2 Academy in Sheffield.

 

Speed Stroke are currenty at work on their new powerful studio album, with an official release expected for this fall.

Street Symphonies Records & Burning Minds Music Group are excited to announce all the details of "Scene Of The Crime", new official studio album by hard/sleaze rockers, Speed Stroke. 

 

Speed Stroke are five guys who share a common passion for the golden times of rock and roll, when the music was played by true rockstars. Founded in Italy in 2010, the band was introduced to the international rock scene in 2011 thanks to their involvement in "Reborn In Sleaze", an official tribute album released in memory of Dave Lepard (Crashdïet). In March 2013 the band launched its S/T debut album, followed by “Fury” in 2016. Thanks to the deal signed with Bagana Rock Agency, Speed Stroke had the chance to promote their work all around Italy and abroad, sharing the stage with artists such as Reckless Love, Backyard Babies, Hardcore Superstar, Gotthard, Phil Campbell, Crazy Lixx, The 69 Eyes, Steel Panther, Santa Cruz, The Cruel Intentions, Shameless/Tuff, Sister, Tigertailz, Kissin' Dynamite and Confess.

 

Their explosive shows, filled with high-octane energy, passion, and excitement, contributed to the creation of a strong fanbase, especially in their home country. A key ingredient of their gigs is their natural ability to interact with an audience.

 

The title of the new album, "Scene Of The Crime", tells a lot about the band's sound and attitude: when the five pieces combo is around, on-stage or backstage, something epic is always expected to happen! With a more varied and mature sound, but still inspired by their childhood heroes, they turned their classic style into a 21st-century hard rock album, with a strong focus on the good melodies, undoubtedly their best so far. Definitely, Speed Stroke are back with a bang! 

 

Mixed by Marco Paradisi & D.B. at Boat Studio (Bologna, Italy) and mastered by Giovanni Versari at La Maestà Mastering (Grammy winner for his work on the album "Drones" by Muse), "Scene Of The Crime" is scheduled for release on November 6, 2020, via Street Symphonies Records / Burning Minds Music Group. A special personalized edition, created by Outward Styles in a very limited quantity of 50 copies, will be available exclusively on the label's online shop in October. The cover art has been designed by SoloMacello (Black Veil Brides, Nick Oliveri, Elvenking, Band Of Spice, Valient Thorr), while the CD booklet features introductory liner notes written by renowned journalist Fabio Magliano (Metal Hammer Italy). 

 

A dedicated Japanese version, which includes the exclusive bonus track “Drive Me Crazy”, will be released instead via Spiritual Beast / Universal Music. Pre-orders are open at this link:
